My understanding is that a fawn is a dilute form of the natural colour whereas a cinnamon will appear as a dilute but will have red eyes. i believe that the cinnamon mutation is sex linked.

Silverfox,you are right Looking at DBs pics i would say they are cinnamins,DB tell us if they are sex linked or not The word fawn seems to cover a lot of mutations,but i'm staying out of this. Cheers Craig :wave:

I bought the birds as fawns and unfortunatley i didnt breed them.Possibly my last foray into mutations of any sort.

That is a nice mutation .
